Jumbo Shrimp With Chive Butter

"As Bon Appetit says, the sauce does double duty, part baste and later dipping. From the june 1990 issue of bon appetit. I changed it a little by adding jalapeno, but you can omit."

  1. Delicious! I reduced the Dijon to 3 tablespoons, increased the jalapeno and also added in 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder to the mustard/lemon mixture, thanks for sharing Marra!
     
  2. We enjoyed this shrimp. The recipe is easy and quick to come together. I broiled the shrimp and served with fresh baked bread and a green salad, I would serve this to company any day! I used jalapeno powder in place of fresh and added a little garlic powder. Next time I will use less mustard as we thought it was somewhat overpowering for the shrimp but it was still delicious! We eat a lot of shrimp, and with this keeper recipe being so quick and easy I will make it often! Thanks Marra! Made for Best of 2021.
     
  3. Delish! I cut the shrimp to 1/3, but made 1/2 the sauce for the two of us. Used medium shrimp cuz they were already in the freezer, and two serrano peppers because they were on hand and we like our food on the spicy side. The shrimp were served with jasmine rice and asparagus, and both were drizzled with the extra lemon butter. OMG, was this good!
     
  4. Holy smoly this is good I used not as much mustard but did use some of the jalapenos pickle juice and some garlic This recipe rocks wowser
     
  5. I doubled the chive butter. We grilled the shrimp, brushing it with the chive butter while it was grilling. Served with roasted asparagus (that I brushed with chive butter before roasting) and rice. My picky family gave it five stars!

http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/527607/cookswithcattitude.jpg I am a middle aged foodie who has had the luxury of living all over the world except asia. Lived in or grew up in Nigeria, Kenya, Chicago, Russia,and haiti. born in New Zealand, brother born in Austria and many more. I have chronic medication resistant depression after 10 years on anti depressants that worked well but would stop working after a year or two, so now do my best at home living on disabilty. Not a bad thing, many have far worse health issues but i have been able to concentrate on food/cooking. My main passions are my cats. I live in the woods and somehow many starving strays or "dumps" have found the message babies who passed on left in the woods saying "suck lives at xxxx road. Most arrive sick and/or starving. Right now i have 2 that arrived with feline herpes and their attendant 2ndry bacterial infections but are doing beautifully. One old man who was going to be euthanized bc a lady who found him as a stray was moving and didnt want him...well he was a biter and rather grumpy who was in ICU for 3 days with a deadly gut infection which was fixed but he left with a diagnosis of diabetes. 3 months on insulin and finally diet controlled and he caught the herpes virus, respiratory symptom version and turned into a cuddler. Butterscotch must think "why didnt i figure out this cuddle stuff was great before i got sick!" Doing wonderfully even though he has bouts. he and the other kids are my babies. Sadly Butterscotch died of Lymphatic cancer in winter of 2008. A year before Big Boy arrived in my life, starving and weak. Full of affection he jumped into my arms and stayed, turns out he has FIV (cat hiv) so he needs to be watched closely. I love him dearly <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Stockingswapcopy.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/cookbookswap.jpg"> <img src="http://www.caymandesigns.com/foodothers/fallswap.jpg">
